| 16. It was only a few years before Roe v Wade that contraception was illegal |

The landmark case making it unconstitutional to ban contraceptives was decided in the early 1960s. Until then, CT and other states had laws on the books making it illegal to sell contraception.
The right-wing absolutely wants to roll this back. The Pill was a huge step forward in women's rights. Allowing women control over their own fertility created uppity women! Women who wanted college educations and (gasp) jobs!
At this rate women will demand the right to vote next!
